Don't listen to the negative reviews

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Ever got a song stuck in your head? Well essentially that is the concept here as a man opens a box which is labeled as being dangorous (sic) but containing great power. He of course opens it and finds a jazz trio inside but he has no time to worry about that now as he has an emergency to go to – although so does the jazz trio.The short film really only has one joke but it plays it bigger as it goes and it delivers it in a cool and stylish way. The animation is slick and stylish (albeit perhaps an overly familiar style) and the music is catchy from the trio; these two areas of delivery work well together and carry the one joke along to the conclusion. It is not hilarious but it is amusing and it is well delivered and can be enjoyed as a cheerful little throwaway with a catchy soundtrack and cool animation.
